Description

Chemistry is all about learning about the materials around us.You will look at the building blocks, atoms, and see how they combine to produce the many different substances we use everyday. You will investigate how and why reactions happen, how to speed them up, increase their yield and look at their effects on the environment. You will do lots of practical work and develop your own skills. You will also have to do a lot of calculations so you need to like working with numbers. Five Reasons to Study this Course at Chichester 1. Supportive and innovative team of teachers 2. Well equipped laboratories with excellent technician support 3.

Unit 2 develops these ideas further with topics on enthalpy changes, kinetics and equilibria, redox reactions, groups 2 and 7, extraction of metals and organic chemistry. How will I be Taught? There will be 2 sessions a week, a 2 hour class and a 3 hour class with a half hour break. You will have one teacher for all your sessions. All classes will be in well equipped laboratories. Classes will include a mixture of presentations, demonstrations, discussions, practical work and exam question practice. Students will be expected to work both individually and in groups.
